Featured Alumni: Karen McCurdy
All alumni of Carnegie Mellon University’s School of Design go on to expand the practice of design in profound and unique ways as they head out on their own career journeys. For Karen McCurdy (who graduated as Karen Dann, BFA ’84), that journey led to an over 30-year career of active and reserve duty in the United States Army.
